It is Indiana University and NOT University of Indiana.

My nephew was a direct admit to Kelley School of Business (Indiana University, Bloomington, IN) last year. He is about to finish his sophomore year there. He is doing very well and loves the school immensely.

Congrats! Everyone that we know at Pitt is having a fantastic experience.

That was a drive by school for my daughter going to some SLAC’s in Ohio. We both fell in love. I hate most urban schools but this had the perfect mix of everything and some seriously happy normal kids. It was so refreshing.

You know that is a really smart decision and ensuring no debt for your D.C. Have been dropping hints to D.C. about two years at CC than 2 at the very pricey private she hopes to attend.

My child is starting at community college as well. She applied to 11 schools and was accepted into 10 of them. They all offered some level of aid/scholarship money, but as we all know, that still leaves a hefty balance. We can't and won't go into serious debt, and don't want our daughter to graduate owing thousands and thousands of dollars in student loans. She did some extra paperwork for Montgomery College and received a Board of Trustees Scholarship, which is a one-year scholarship that covers tuition and fees. As it stands, MC will pay for 30 credits/1-year, and we will pay for year two. At that time, she will transfer to the school which she really wants to attend. We can pay for a portion of the tuition, which leaves the likelihood of needing a small loan for her to complete her final year of undergrad. This makes the most financial sense to us. My daughter already met with a counselor and selected classes that will transfer to the school she wants to attend. She has a plan, and I have no doubt she will make it happen. It's not about where you start, but where you finish.

Congrats on putting together a workable plan for all involved.

Fantastic! Your DD is so mature to want to do this and have a plan laid out. This is by far the MOST LOGICAL course of action for everyone. However, our prejudices and hangups prevent us from doing this.

Good luck to your DD and the parents!

My aunt came out of AACC in 70's. Even before she graduated, she was receiving recruitment job offers (accounting.) She and her husband bought 6 acres of land in Elicott City and built their own house ground up. It was a slow going as a general contractor, taking about 3 yrs to build. The house that cost them approximately $50,000 was appraised at close to 1 million. Long story short, she recently retired a millionaire after having worked all her life as an accountant/cpa - and it all started with her 2 year degree from Anne Arundel Community College.
